Of course. Just thinking that if there wasn't any other reason to stay on
Wheezy, it would be a good thing to upgrade to a recent Jessie image and
get support for the latest tools that are available there (e.g. iw, ip).
Latest versions of these tools are unlikely to have been backported to
Wheezy. I do know that older versions of iw did not properly support mesh
points.
One other thing, if your image is running connman, you will want to make
sure it doesn't interfere (try to manage) any interfaces you create. I
typically create my mesh points on "mp0", so I have a
/etc/connman/main.conf something like the following to ensure that connman
ignores mp0 (actually ignores any mpX interface):
# Place this file in /etc/connman/main.conf
[General]
# Don't manage mesh point interfaces of the form "mpx"...
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=mp
